*raises hand* Band geek here too, from 5th grade through 10th. Flute and Clarinet. I was even geeky enough to join the marching band for 2 years. I loved it though, *sigh* I wish I had continued on in my junior and senior years too. Oh, we had to be in marching band if we wanted to be in the regular band. I was enough of a geek that I was a squad leader junior year, when normally only seniors were squad leaders. We had to wear polyester uniforms and hats with big ol' phallic plumes on them. I was in band from 5th through 12th grade, then I did 2 years of the orchestra for non-music majors in college. I should pick it up again. I need a new flute though.

My flute is in desperate need of repair too. I hated those polyester uniforms, itchy and very hot. I hope to get a saxophone one day and learn to play it just because I want to. I love learning to play new instruments. Stupid me sold my clarinet years ago and want to get another one, someday.

Wow.. Miss Angelica is back --- I was never in the school band but I wanted to be.. unfortunately for me, my family was too po'broke at the time for me to pursue it. My friends were all band nerds so I was a band nerd by association and got treated like one. Yeah, junior high was a really great time. :lol:

We had an extremely lazy band instructor, so we didn't get to have band camp .

I can't even sing. That's how musically challenged I am.
I sit at my friends baby grand piano and pretend I'm Nick Cave.
Then I get attacked by their dog.
I hated my school. It was an all girls catholic school and I used to get thrown out of religion class all the time. ..and music class.
Wow. Miss Angelica smiled at me :oops: :lol:

Most of my friends are in the band and choir (sp?) I always snigger when they tell me they had soooo much fun at band camp :twisted:
I've heard stories about what people do with their flutes at band camp :roll: But they're probably just stories.

I so love threads like this. :mrgreen: They're perfect to play a lil' relaxing game in the middle of a workday: you go and read the first message, then jump straight to the last one and try to come up with a chain of events that lead from 'wah it's broken' to school bands. :mrgreen:

I was a choir girl. No really, I was. First soprano even.
Of course, I was also the resident "goth chick"(tm), so I think I had notoriety for that, and less for the singing. Poo.

I played the tenor sax for a year before the band teacher's kid tried to strangle me, and after a teacher saw the bruises on my neck, the band teacher basically would verbally abuse me. Then, his kid went on to hit a friend of mine (who is a girl) Rylie. Who the fuck hits a girl?

Bet she was a card :twisted:

This reminds me, when I was a teen...you know, all EMO and stuff, I used to save my tears in a bottle. *snort* I found it a couple years ago. BOY oh boy did that thing smell BAD.
I just threw up in my mouth a little - srsly. :!: Hehe. You know why it smelled so bad? Because, in addition to all the bacteria that has been incubating in that bottle, tears are diluted urine. :twisted: BTW, I was in the choir, I'm (or at least was) a soprano too, and I took piano lessons for almost 10 years. Edit: Plum! Ohmigosh! :shock: I've missed you. And seeing your avatar still cracks me up. Post MOAR! Edited to fix the quotes.
